EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning mirror or portrait frame dating back to the 17th century. Crafted from gilt oak, this exquisite piece of art measures 118.1x99.1x5.1 cm and is currently housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA as part of The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection. The intricate carving on this frame transports us to a bygone era of baroque elegance and opulence. Mythological elements take center stage, with dolphins gracefully climbing up the sides while cherubs or putti adorn the top corners, adding an ethereal touch to the overall design. The attention to detail is truly remarkable - every inch of this wooden frame has been sculpted and gilded with utmost precision. A grapevine motif weaves its way throughout, symbolizing abundance and fertility in classical mythology. As we gaze into this empty mirror or portrait frame, we can't help but imagine the grandeur it once held within its borders. It served as both a functional object for reflection and a decorative element that elevated any space it adorned. This colonial-era masterpiece not only speaks volumes about skilled craftsmanship but also offers us a glimpse into the rich history of furniture design. Its presence alone exudes sophistication and invites us to appreciate the beauty found in mythological narratives intertwined with artistic expression.
